task achievement
Use a clear introduction that presents your opinion on the matter succinctly, indicating whether you agree or disagree with the premise.
task achievement
Ensure that the conclusion reflects on the arguments presented and restates your opinion, providing a clear summation of your stance.
task achievement
Expand upon your ideas with specific examples and evidence to support your arguments. This will help substantiate your claims and demonstrate a wider understanding of the topic.
coherence cohesion
Adopt a logical structure for your essay by clearly dividing it into paragraphs with individual themes. Each paragraph should contain one main idea with supporting information.
coherence cohesion
Transitions between paragraphs should be smooth with appropriate use of linking words and phrases to ensure the reader can follow the development of ideas without confusion.
coherence cohesion
For a more developed essay, add an introduction and conclusion if they are missing; they are fundamental to structuring your argument effectively. The introduction sets the stage for what is to come, and the conclusion ties everything together, reinforcing your position.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
